Tonight (Tues 3/11) at 9 PM Eastern, I’ll be leading the weekly #ChSocM church social media twitter chat.

Topic: Where Church, Search & Social Collide – Local Reviews

Over the 2+ year’s I’ve been participating in #ChSocM chats we’ve discussed lots of different social media platforms – Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Pintrest, Instagram and more. But tonight, for the first time ever, we’re going to discuss how churches can engage with local review sites like

Google+ Local

Bing Places (Bing Maps)

Yahoo Local Listings

Yelp

Superpages

These sites are search engines where people look for local organizations (including churches) and they also have a social component to them because people can post ratings and reviews.
